Terre Haute comes from the French phrase terre haute, which means “Highland.” It was likely named by French explorers in the early 18th century to describe the distinct location above the Wabash River.
The recent community-wide initiative, 2013 Year of the River, provided arts, cultural, environmental and educational events focused on the river that gave Terre Haute its name.
Through this initiative, Wabashiki was introduced. A 2,600 acre Fish and Wildlife Area along the Wabash River, Wabashiki o ers patrons a location perfect for hunting, shing, trapping, bird viewing and many other outdoor activities.
The Wabash River is the reason settlements rst occurred in this region, so it is important to enhance and protect this natural resource. The Wabash River is home to 150 species of sh, provides drinking water to 72 percent of Indiana counties and o ers many outdoor recreation opportunities. Arts
